What is your favorite type, brand, model of hearing protection

[Griff79]

Collective knowledge base,

What are your favorite types of hearing protection? I've been shopping for some and I've seen them for $.50 up to $150 there probably even more expensive ones. I have always just used foam plugs but would like to get more protection

i would like your opinions on what has worked well for you. If you could include the brand and model I would be most appreciative.

Thanks,
Griff

Howard Leight Impact Sport electronic ear muffs. Being able to hear normal speaking volume and yet still protect hearing from the shots is awesome.

Around christmas time last year they were about $35 or so from amazon and cabellas. At that price, they were a great deal. At $50, there are probably some other electronic muffs I'd check out, but I'd still go for some electronics.

I'm not a fan of large muffs so I decided to try out the Surefire EP7s. They're pretty decent for a foam plug.

I just do the foam earplugs. Good ones from 3M or Howard Leight. The ear muff things screw with a proper cheek weld when I shoot long guns and I can't stand them. They are also rather uncomfortable for me when the weather gets hot.

A good bang for your buck. I use the surefire ear plugs when shooting suppressed. The bottom line is how much you want to spend. I've looked at ear plugs like this, but the cost is way out of my wallet's range

Huh?
What?








I can't stress enough, whatever you use, use something.
Going to bed every night with ringing and roaring in your head sucks.
Anymore I double up, the cheapo expanding foamies and then a muffins type set.

I like the MSA/Sordin Pro-X, I also have a pair of the older Sordin Pro series. Both are great and while a tad pricey, I found they worked better than the cheaper electronic muffs when firing full auto. I also like the fact that I can plug my cell phone in and hear it ring when I'm out shooting. I also keep a pair of foam plugs in my pocket.
